Here's what you need to consider about hosting your Terms of Service and/or Privacy Policy: while you're not specifically required to host the legal agreements on your company website, you must keep the agreements available online so your users can read them.

2. You aren’t required to host your legal
agreements such as your Terms of
Service and your Privacy Policy on
your company website.
However, you are legally required to
keep your legal agreements available
and accessible online so your users
can read them whenever they want.
3. Users must be able to know that
the agreements are associated
with your company.
5. While most companies do prefer
and choose to maintain versions
of their legal agreements on their
own websites, there are other
options that will work.
6. Some online platforms like
GitHub allow you to host and
share documents.
You can upload your legal
agreements to GitHub and
then link from your footer as
you would with a locally
hosted agreement.
7.
8. Some companies combine local and remote hosting
of agreements by keeping the current versions locally
and using a service like GitHub to host past versions
of the agreements.
9. As long as users can access your agreements from
clearly-labeled links on your website, you will satisfy
the requirement that the agreements are available
and accessible.
10. How to ensure association
with your company if you
host elsewhere
11. If a user clicks on your agreement link and is taken
to a different third party hosting website, some
users may get confused that they’re reading an
agreement for that third party website.
12. To make it clear to users that your agreements are
yours when they aren’t hosted on your website, make
sure you add your company name into your agreement
in the beginning as well as in multiple places throughout
the agreement.
13. Whether your legal agreement links lead users to
a locally or remotely hosted HTML, PDF or other
format of your agreements, this will be a valid
hosting of the agreements so long as they are:
Always available and easily accessible, and
Clearly associated with your company
